Whether 260 feet underground riding public transit in Portland’s Robertson Tunnel or 20,310 feet above ground on Denali’s summit, consumers today expect that their devices will have a working, lightning-fast connection.
The biggest problem companies face is carrier coordination and re-transmission agreements, according to ADRF COO Arnold Kim.
Cheytec supplies radio equipment made by Ericsson and Nokia, and for ADRF it will supply signal sources from these vendors that support the 3.5 GHz band as well as license-assisted access. ADRF is the first DAS vendor to support these frequency bands.
The installation of distributed antenna systems (DAS), which consist of base-stations, remotes, and coaxial cable networks, isn’t something fans are ever supposed to notice when attending an event.
On the DAS side, ADRF announced during the Verizon Technology User Forum, it has updated its solution to include support for for the 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum bands.
A new collaboration has been announced with the aim of bringing together two leading services in location technology.
ADRF announced it is rolling out support for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and LAA bands for its ADXV Series DAS, making it the first DAS provider to support the U.S. 3.5 GHz band and 5 GHz spectrum.
The nationwide wireless carriers are testing CBRS and LAA to augment indoor capacity, but the bigger opportunity for ADRF may be with enterprise buyers of its new solutions.
Reliable blanket coverage is often taken for granted by anyone with a cell phone, but most people are unaware of a crucial and foundational aspect of connectivity: batteries.
For reasons both altruistic and obvious, providing public safety communications solutions has been a tent-pole component of carrier business.
